The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion.

Real people move, they bear with them the element of time. It is this fourth dimension of people that I try to capture in a photograph.

I've photographed just about everyone in the world. But what I hope to do is photograph people of accomplishment, not celebrity, and help define the difference once again.

If each photograph steals a bit of the soul, isn't it possible that I give up pieces of mine every time I take a picture?

A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with this knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he's wearing or how he looks.

Camera lies all the time. It's all it does is lie, because when you choose this moment instead of this moment, when you... the moment you've made a choice, you're lying about something larger. 'Lying' is an ugly word. I don't mean lying. But any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same.
